FALL RIVER — Police say a Fall River man pawned a $10,000 diamond ring that he allegedly stole from New England Patriots offensive lineman Nate Solder’s Foxboro home in April.

A receipt indicates that Manuel P. Faria, 24, of 143 Cottage St., pawned the Tiffany ring for $150 the day after the alleged larceny, according to court documents.

On April 29, Faria was insulating the attic during a construction renovation in Solder’s home. Solder, who's been the Patriots' starting left tackle for the past three seasons, and his live-in girlfriend told police they left their home while the construction crew remained inside the house. When they returned a short time later, Solder’s girlfriend said she noticed her ring had been taken from a jewelry box, according to court documents.

At the time, Faria had been working near the bedroom, according to the construction foreman, who also told police that at one point he had difficulty locating Faria. When he later saw Faria outside the house, Faria appeared “hesitant and nervous” and said that he had been in the bathroom, according to court records.

After Solder told him that the ring was missing, the foreman checked local pawn shops and discovered that the ring had been taken, on April 30, to Fall River Pawnbrokers at 1475 S. Main St. A receipt showed Faria had taken the ring that day and pawned it for $150 in cash. The foreman contacted Solder and his girlfriend, and the Fall River Police Department, according to court documents.

Fall River police Officer William Platt responded to the pawn store and spoke with Solder and his girlfriend. The pawn store returned the ring to Solder’s girlfriend, according to court documents.

Faria was arrested this week on a single count of larceny under $250 by false pretense. He was ordered held on $1,000 cash bail after being arraigned Wednesday in Fall River District Court.

The Foxboro Police Department is also investigating and looking to charge Faria with larceny, according to court records.
